A heavy, geometric display sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with planar facets. Bowls and counters read as squared or octagonal shapes, and terminals are consistently beveled to create a chiseled silhouette. The overall texture is dense and dark with large, sturdy stems, compact apertures, and simplified joins that keep letterforms rigid and mechanical. Uppercase proportions feel wide and stable, while lowercase maintains the same angular construction with sturdy ascenders/descenders and minimal modulation.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where the bold, faceted silhouettes can carry the message. It works well for sports and team branding, event posters, game titles, and bold packaging or labeling where a strong, industrial tone is desired.
The faceted construction and blunt massing give the font a tough, utilitarian voice that feels sporty and assertive. Its angular rhythm suggests stamped signage and team identifiers, projecting energy, impact, and a slightly retro-industrial edge.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact through simplified, straight-edged construction and consistent beveled corners, translating rounded letterforms into a rigid, faceted system. The goal is a punchy display face that signals toughness and structure rather than softness or neutrality.
The design relies on a consistent corner-chamfer motif across rounds, diagonals, and numerals, creating a cohesive ‘cut-metal’ effect. Because counters are relatively tight and forms are highly geometric, the type reads best when given room to breathe and can lose clarity at small sizes or in dense paragraphs.
